Prayers for my dad

Octoboer 8, 2013

Hi All,

I generally work about a week in advance on my blog entries, but this is an up-to-date update. My dad is pretty ill after falling at home -- he was putting salt in the water softener. What looked like an injury that was manageable  has continued to worsen.  He had unexplained low blood pressure and low hemoglobin -- then test results showed he has  a ruptured kidney, spleen involvement, and an aortic embolism that is growing in size. If that is not enough, they found that he has bone cancer too.  We're told the next 48 hours will be critical, and I'm flying into Indiana tomorrow am.

Please think good thoughts for my dad.

In the meantime I will try to keep up with the blog but forgive me if there is a lapse.

Take care everyone.

    Stacey, prayers and many good wishes for you and your dad. Hope the doctors can get the blood issues under control (I too struggle with the blood pressure) and that he is stabilized and can get back on his feet soon. Hope the cancer was caught soon enough to be treatable and you have him for many more years. Many hugs, too.

    Sending good & healing thoughts your dad's way. I don't comment often, but I read your blog all the time, & I'm very sorry to hear (read?) he's not doing well.

    You are definitely in my thoughts early in the year the same thing happened with my nan but she wasn't strong enough to get better, so I'm hoping that your dad makes a 110% recovery stay positive and keep smiling
